("Brook & Whittle"), a leading provider of sustainable pressure sensitive and shrink sleeve prime labels, today announced the expansion of its executive team naming Paul Hogan Chief Financial Officer, Scott Willey Vice President, Strategic Projects, and Daryl Northcott Vice President, Marketing, Innovation & Procurement.

Brook & Whittle, which is majority owned by private equity firm Snow Phipps Group, L.L.C. ("Snow Phipps"), has significantly expanded in recent years with several acquisitions since Snow Phipps' initial investment in October 2017.

Mr. Hogan has been recognized as an industry leader, winning the Plastics News' "CFO of the Year" award in 2016.

Brook & Whittle's former CFO, Scott Willey, will assume the newly created role of Vice President, Strategic Projects.

He has been instrumental to our success and played a critical role in integrating our three prior acquisitions: Prime Package & Label, Croydon, and Label Impressions," said Mr. Pollard. "Scott's new role will expand the bandwidth of Brook & Whittle's executive team by having him fully focus his efforts on critical strategic projects."

Brook & Whittle also announced the appointment of Daryl Northcott as Vice President, Marketing, Innovation and Procurement, also a new position at the firm.

I am confident in his ability to create significant value in his new role here," commented Mr. Pollard.
